Chapter Six: Rumble in the Forest
I was moments from Handir's lips, when he placed his hand between his lips and mine.
"This is a bit unexpected." Handir whispered.
I pushed away from him in shock. I couldn't believe what he said. I brought my eyes to the ground.
"Raven, it is not that, I do have a feeling towards you. I only do not wish to act upon it." Handir said.
"What does that mean?" I snottily questioned.
"I still have doubts about you and your friend. Business comes before anything." He replied.
I brought my eyes to him and gave him an angry stare. He saw this and he slowly stood up from the bed. He walked over to the door and turned around. He gave a slight smile before he walked quickly out of the room.
I couldn't hold my stare as a tear rolled from my eye down along the curves of my face. I licked the tear away and stood from the bed. I slowly walked over to the door and stepped out of it. I saw Handir's retreating body heading into the darkened halls of the cave.
I watched, as I could no longer see the form of his body. I shrugged his shadows off and walked the opposite direction. I strolled along the stone corridors until I began to hear shouting in a small room near me.
I inched closer to the room as the conversation took a heated turn.
"Legolas, I do not think you should have taken those elves from the dungeon." A loud and powerful voice said.
"Father, I believe the guards have been corrupted by something, we could barely hold them off." Legolas nearly shouted.
"Legolas, perhaps these females, provoked the guards in some way, perhaps they are evil, as we first predicted." Thranduil said in a calmer voice than Legolas.
I gripped my heart in fear. Surely if they were going to say we were evil, then we were in for good. I couldn't let myself, or Phoebe get hurt. I took in a deep breath and began to double back. I headed past my room and over to where I knew Phoebe was staying. I ran to her door and banged loudly against the door.
"Phoebe!" I shouted.
I listened closely at the door until I heard a loud bump. Shortly after the bump Phoebe opened her door.
"What is it now?" She tiredly asked. "It's the middle of the night."
"We have to leave." I said to her.
She raised and eye brow, and gave me a concerned look. She pulled me into her room and shut the door behind her. She went over to her bed, and I stood.
"Did he try something with you?" Phoebe asked with concern.
I angrily glared at her as she began to crack up into laughter. She slipped off her bed and began to pat the ground wildly to sustain herself.
"Honestly, he didn't make the move." I said to her.
I brought my hand to my mouth realizing what I had said. She brought her head up and looked at me in shock.
"You made the first move?" She asked as she began to laugh again.
I stared at her fiercely. I went over to her bed and sat as I watched her flail about on the ground at what I had said.
"It's not really a move, if he didn't accept it." I whispered.
Phoebe sniveled her last bit of laughter and tilted her head to me. She noticed my saddened expression. She stood from the ground and came over to me. She sat on the bed and placed her arm around my shoulders.
"What happened?" She questioned.
"He, I was going to kiss him, and he put his hand between our lips. He said he still thinks I am bad, evil whatever it is everyone else thinks." I cried. "The only defender we have is valiant Legolas."
Phoebe smiled at the sound of his name but I ignored it. I was upset about how are accident brought us to the place most sacred, even from ourselves.
"Why would we have to leave, I thought we were safe?" Phoebe asked.
"Yes, but we were only saved from the guards, not the wrath of Thranduil." I answered her.
She nodded her head. Both her and I were in nightgowns, so we had to get dressed quickly. We ran over to a small dresser, which held our clothes. We hastily dressed into two dresses, which were fit and tight so that we were able to run.
We rapidly walked out of her room. I turned both ways to see if anyone was coming. I could only see a group of people that were gathering at the far end of the hall. We ran the opposite way. We hurried down the halls to reach the beginning of the great hall. The great hall was close to the end of the caves leading outside.
We ran through it quickly and we finally reached the outside of the caves. I smiled as the night sky lit up with the moon that shined along the lanterns of the houses about us. We walked along a thick path through the dampened dark forest.
Then we reached a large stonewall that was cracked down the middle. Almost as if it were a large gate.
Phoebe and I walked up to it. I knocked hard against the wall and it slowly began to open. Phoebe and I stepped back so it could open. It cracked slightly and then stopped moving. Phoebe and I quickly ran through.
We ran on past the gate and guards. We followed a darkened path, although it was hard to see, we could make it out. I think it is because we were in some way elves.

"Raven, just one question." Phoebe asked me.
"What?" I replied.
"What is better, sitting in a cave with food, and water, and possible freedom, or running through a forest where we have no idea where we are, or what we are going to do?" She angrily questioned.
I turned around to her, but I knew she was right. I sat down on a log, which was lying on the ground. Phoebe walked over to me, and sat next to me.
"What are we going to do now?" I questioned rhetorically.
I puffed and kicked the dirt around my feet into a circle. I began listening for any sounds or noises. As I listened a loud rumble burst into my ears. I jumped up from the log and turned around searching for what made the sounds.
I listened harder as a loud snorting like sound roared through the bushes and trees sounding as if it were coming closer.
A/N: Don't you hate me, and my darn cliffies. Okay I know it was sort of short, I am sorry, I was in a rush, cuz I have to go. Love you all, and review for me! Cuz that gives me joy and influence to write.
Bjam: I have no idea why I do cliffies every chapter. But I am glad you like my humor. Thanks Kitty!
